I really don't know.

And it's not strange that the company is 100% remote. There are many digital agencies across the country that are 100% remote.

Many companies are also turning to a remote work model due to covid and the Great Resignation. I wrote an article about remote work for my last company, so I've researched the topic.

My CEO started her company thinking that she would simply consult on her own. But she gained clients and had to scale. She initially hired top talent as contractors. Then, it evolved from there into hiring full time employees, but from top applicants across the country. Her company is only six years old.

But now, in the corporate world, it's not strange to find many fully remote positions. That's what I keep finding available and am applying for.
I understand. Most of my family and friends are in a corporate world. They are now required to go part time to the office. One or two days a week at least. All of them. That’s why I was surprised you find and prefer 100% remote companies. But I get it

Honestly if quality of my work was deemed awesome but I was fired for not meeting their standards, I’d hire a lawyer and question the decision. In absence of negative feedback (no written evaluations) and glowing feedback from those who oversee your work how do they justify firing an awesome employee? I’d be livid. How do they explain it??? It’s so unacceptable
